Oscillating Capacitor Circuit

[gotoluc]

@everyone,

I did the test as I said using the homes electrical utility meter because that is what counts!... I am sad to report that the Kill A Watt consumption meter was fooled by the circuit but it was not by the homes electrical meter. For one revolution of the dial on the homes electrical meter took 5 minute 30 seconds with the bulb connected to the circuit and took 7 minute 30 seconds with just the bulb connected (no circuit) So that says it all there. 

I am happy to have found this great way of testing since some of our electronic testing equipment is not capable of doing the job correctly and this is one good example.

I wounder If I can buy a home electrical analogue meter oh well... I can always use the one that comes with the home

Thanks for looking

Please have a look at the video which is very complete and post what you think of this simple circuit and effects.

Sorry to say, but it looks like someone took the link down.  It was runningat one time, since there were past posts in reference to it.

Hi Lee,

here's an updated link to that video: http://www.modvid.com/play/Energy__Unsorted/Capacitor_Self_Pulsing_Circuit_test_1

How can 121 volts at 2.4 amps = 37 watts ?????

In the case of the kill-a-watt meter used in the video I found it was being affected by the capacitor oscillation. However, in an AC circuit I believe if the power factor is less than 1.00 the watts drop as the power factor drops. You cannot calculate wattage as you would with DC. For AC wattage calculations you need to know power factor to get the correct watts value.
